Here are some pictures from the install process back a couple weeks.  Sorry it took a while to get the pictures up.

Engine Install Phase 1

Thanks again to all that attended.  I hope I wasn't too much of a job pusher and I think everyone had a good time.   Was the goal accomplished?  not 100%.  Does that really matter?  no.  We got a lot of work done I couldn't have done myself and I appreciate it.

Thanks to Chris for taking the camera and getting some shots while I was preoccupied.
